Family Guy 420
Family Guy is always one for a good song and dance, some satire and of course a little bit of sparkle. Oh, and it’s dumb a lot too. But this episode, while being dumb, still is funny, and has an interesting message.

TV Cynic/Cynical Cinema: Oscars™®© Recap

So the Oscars™®© or Academy Awards™®© were last night, and damn them if they didn’t decide to shake shit up a little bit. Some of the awards were predictable, but the show sure wasn’t.
First of all, I had no idea until that motherfarkin’ Barbara Walters Special aired that g’d love-him-yet-hate-him Hugh Jackman was hosting. That guy is a freakin’ conundrum, isn’t he? One minute he’s cutting mofos up in the trailer to Wolverine, then, the next minute, he dances, sings, and charms his way into your heart. He was a pretty good host, I think. Charming, not on screen too much (at one point someone quipped that he was napping) and when he was there, he did a dance or some shit, which was entertaining enough, and of course he’d pull Beyoncé or someone else out of thin air to help him out. He didn’t even make a long boring monologue, just made some dumb jokes. He gets a pass; host 12 times.
My favorite addition was definitely having 5 past award recipients say something nice about the nominees, instead of just a camera cutting to them when the presenter is speaking their name. This was a nice touch, and really let you reflect on the history of the awards, and what it means to win those coveted acting awards. Read the rest of this entry »
I Stumped Steve Hildebrand.
Well, he didn’t answer my question, anyways. Steve was the Deputy National Campaign Manager for now President Barack Obama. He gave a pretty nice talk on Tuesday night to a group of eager college kids, weird community members, and the rest of the people who were lucky enough to actually hear about this event. (Thanks, College Democrats, for sucking ass at things like PRESS RELEASES)
Regardless, it was a really cool event. We were actually the first group he’d given his speech to, which included an extensive (albeit slightly boring) PowerPoint presentation, and a too-short Q&A session on the end. I was able to get in one question, to which he didn’t have a response. It was: “What was your favorite endorsement?” I don’t know how he couldn’t come up with an answer, honestly. He just stood there thinking for a good 45 seconds or so before I finally offered up, “What about Oprah?” which caused him to reveal an interesting tidbit that I had never really though about before right then. Oprah is a blessing and a curse; mainly because she elevated the “Celebrity” status of Obama, which was the very thing that McCain’s attack dogs latched onto shortly afterward. However, Oprah did do wonders for his street cred and his standing with women. I attended an event with Oprah, Obama, and of course Gale, in USC’s football stadium last January. It forever changed the way I thought about politics, to say the least, and was probably one of the most inspiring days of my life. Steve ended his lecture without ever actually answering my question, so I’m going to see if I can contact him via email… Read the rest of this entry »
